Many of you want to just quietly walk away. Please don't.
Ceremonies are important rituals to close major chapters in life. They matter emotionally and spiritually.
It matters to your family, your comrades and the profession.
Your speech is the last word of your service. And people listen.
I will say one thing: nothing demonstrates the value of military history, the staff and war colleges, and reading military theory like watching a war conducted by a bunch of guys who skipped all of that in favor of 'manliness' and push-ups.
I think that statement is satire. Because why would FM von Hegseth want to fight Russians? That's who he idolizes!
(My statement is satirical)
Peak reference
What could an MEU even do on its own? Take and hold a small small village?
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
Honestly, if i were this guy's boss, I'd make his eval contingent on writing a rebuttal to his first piece, but to actually use thought.
I could argue that he did not demonstrate any attributes needed with that article.
I think it's because he doesn't have the linguistic repertoire to come up with any synonyms for "execute"
Dude doesn't read.
Let's see if history gives us an idea...
*Opens a book*
Oh...
Oh no...
OH NO!!!
I feel this in my bones
AGR is a very small community, and people are gissipy little trolls. I'm 87% positive it got to his peers, and then his boss.
It wasn't just bsky. Reddit, Facebook, everywhere was lambasting it. The author deleted his linked in. Dude was run out on a rail.
Shameless plug. My @warontherocks.bsky.social debut is a rebuttal to Cynical Publius’ war college opinion piece. warontherocks.com/2026/03/mili...
Still going out partying. Just won't need a cooler. We'll keep the drinks tied down on the back deck
He's already mentioned in the article about kill company, from samara Iraq
The book: Twelve Days: the story of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, by Victor Sebestyen
Starting up this book on audible. Doing it for a small research paper for grad school. Anyone read it? Feedback?
You wrote that?! As an aside, it's kinda cool that I follow on bsky someone who's product's I studied over 10 years ago.
No thank you, I don't want to have to rely on them
And people let him make those choices.
Counterpoint: they are not reserves if they are a committed force/asset.
So the question now is: why don't we have reserves?
Would fit considering US casualties (so far) happen to be reservists.
Ok, I didn't realize a bison could have such swagger.
Counterpoint: it's good this officer wrote such an article. Otherwise everyone would have assumed he was competent. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Also, FYI, he's getting lambasted across social media so bad he's deleted his linked in account. His reputation is fucked (laudatory)
Do it.
Or at least find out if they were serious with this. I kinda think they published this to throw guy under the spotlight and get him a bad OER for needs improvement on intellect.
This is a real doozy.
It's hard to believe someone actually wrote this, and yet, here we are.
Though I think the best part is where he argues for a wealth requirement for rank, as though this were the Ancien Regime.
Not those old people in congress. They also prefer to watch birds, but do so when they should be running the government.
I'm talking about the wise ones. The one's who've retired.
Old people know what's good in life.
I just want to fuckin sit here, watching birds eat from the feeder.
